Ohanaeze Reacts as Ex- Minister of Works declares Tinubu as Next in Line for Presidency
This online news platform reports that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s call to Tinubu, came after Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Minister of Works, declared that Tinubu was the best person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Ogunlewe, who recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he was going to support the former Lagos Governor to emerge President in 2023.
“I have been reading and watching a lot of comments about it. I believe 2023 should be thrown open. Nobody should be shut out. There is nothing wrong about Southwest showing interest. We are talking about democracy”.
However, according to Ibegbu, “This is the tie for him and other Nigerians that made their wealth solely from Nigeria politics, to pay back to the society they milked directly and indirectly. I wonder why and how Tinubu could nurse such ambition if it’s true when the South East and the third leg of Nigeria is yet occupy the position.
“I laud Tinubu’s courage and efforts to deepen the democratic space from the June 12 days, but it appears diminishing return is now setting in. I think it’s high time for him to help build an equitable and just Nigeria.
“He should be less controversial and less ambitious, so that, those who cherish his doggedness will not abandon him in the years ahead. Let him listen to the voices of wisdom from Yoruba land. You know our Yoruba brothers are known as arbiters of fairness and justice.”
